Investing in Compact Power: MJB Excavations & Plant Hire Expands Fleet with Sunward Mini Excavators
1st September 2025
The machines in question, a Sunward SWE 25UF and SWE 60UF, were recently delivered by Warwick Ward (machinery) Ltd, official UK dealer for Sunward mini excavators. Both models were chosen for their outstanding performance in tight spaces, robust build quality, and exceptional value for money, particularly when compared with other brands in the market.
Speaking with the team at MJB, it's clear that the machines are already making an impact. The SWE 25UF, a true zero tail-swing 2.6-tonne excavator, has been deployed on several tight-access residential jobs where manoeuvrability and precision are paramount. Its compact size and smooth hydraulics make it ideal for garden clearances, foundation work, and utility trenching, all while maintaining the kind of breakout force and digging depth typically expected from a much larger machine. For the operators, comfort and ease of use were noted immediately. The fully enclosed cab is equipped with ergonomic controls, excellent visibility, and a premium feel that call into question the machine’s competitive price point.
Alongside the 2.5-tonner, MJB’s new 6-tonne SWE 60UF has proven itself just as capable, albeit on larger-scale infrastructure jobs. With its zero-tail design and a more powerful Kubota engine, it offers impressive reach and digging capacity while retaining the flexibility needed for urban projects and restricted sites. For a business that routinely juggles varying site demands, having a 6-tonne class excavator that combines strength with agility has already started to pay dividends. MJB’s team have praised the SWE 60UF’s responsive controls and its ability to switch seamlessly between buckets, hammers, and other attachments thanks to its well-equipped hydraulic setup, all fitted as standard from the factory.
Beyond performance, another key factor in MJB’s purchasing decision was long-term reliability. Both machines come backed by a robust warranty of up to five years as standard on the Sunward range and the full support of Warwick Ward’s nationwide service and parts network. For Managing Director Matthew Berrett, this aftersales peace of mind was just as important as the machines’ technical capabilities.
“We’ve used a number of excavators over the years, and it’s not just about what they can do on day one. It’s about knowing the machines will keep delivering week in, week out, and that you’ve got backup when you need it. With Sunward and Warwick Ward, we’ve got that confidence,” he said.
As the exclusive Sunward mini excavator dealer for many areas across England, Warwick Ward is proud to support businesses like MJB with reliable machines that are built to perform. With strong demand across Yorkshire and beyond, Sunward’s UK presence continues to grow and it’s clear that this combination of capability, cost-efficiency and dealer support is proving hard to beat.
As MJB Excavation puts its new fleet additions to work across a busy summer schedule, the SWE 25UF and SWE 60UF are already proving to be not just smart investments, but essential assets on site.
